[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Woodward HS opening will impact 8 high schools according to current McPS study.  [/b]With a new BOE, anything is possible after November.  MCPS needs disversity in each school so additional HS may be pulled into Woodward redistricting in future.  You can move to a house next to an ES to secure a seat in a desirable ES but no one can predict which MS or HS this ES will feed to.  The only sure thing is to move to a house near Potomac ES so other HS would be too far for its students. Kensington is not too far from 2-4 HSs so a signle family home community could be easily moved to another MS or HS to balance the FARM rate or racial diversity in amother HS.[/quote]

6 high schools: Walter Johnson and the Downcounty Consortium (Blair, Einstein, Kennedy, Northwood, Wheaton).

[i]Woodward High School
Capital Project: To address the urgent space needs in the
Downcounty Consortium high schools, expenditures were
approved to construct additional capacity and provide the
instructional support spaces needed for 2,700 students at
Northwood High School. Therefore, an FY 2019 appropriation
was approved to begin this project. Additionally, expenditures
were approved to reopen Woodward High School to address
the remaining space deficits in the Downcounty Consortium
high schools and Walter Johnson High School. An FY 2019
appropriation was approved for planning funds to reopen
Woodward High School. Given that the current Woodward
High School facility is significantly smaller than the proposed,
2,700 student capacity, an addition was approved to provide
some of the needed capacity and for flexibility during construction
as the first phase of the project. An FY 2019 appropriation
was approved for planning and construction funds for the first
phase. Once planning is complete, recommendations will
be included in the next full CIP regarding the phasing and
completion dates for both high school projects. [/i]
